Sorry, there's no end run around AA seniority. In order to be assigned an AA seniority number, you have to represented by APA and line pilots at one of the Eagle's don't qualify. The only exception I'm aware of is Envoy's former (?) V.P. of flight who is on "Special Assignment" in a management position there after completing basic idoc at AA. I don't see Parker starting WW III with APA or AA pilots by hijacking our seniority list as a gift wrapped present to regional pilots.
It's an enticing thought though, I'm sure. Any such deal will require agreement and quite frankly, considering the past failures of Letter 3 along with multiple arbitrations to resolve disputes, I don't think Parker want to open that can of worms all over again....at least not in the near future.
I think it's more realistic to plan for another scenario absent APA agreement to this one.
